Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc. (http://www.SureSealPavement.com), the Greater Toronto Area’s leading pavement maintenance and repair company, is announcing the techniques associated with an overlay and the benefits of asphalt paving overlay to a surface.

“Asphalt paving overlay is the process of laying a coat of asphalt over an existing coat, mainly used to cover damages or cracking,” says Lance Bradshaw, president and CEO of Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc. “Asphalt paving is a good option if a complete replacement of the surface is either too costly or too time-consuming. An overlay is a very practical way to go about paving a surface if the job needs to be done quickly. That’s because it covers up minor imperfections that need to be attended to without having to overhaul the entire surface—a job, Bradshaw notes, that Sure-Seal has done plenty of times.”

“The technique of asphalt paving overlay usually incorporates the use of what’s called an asphalt mill, which is a machine that shaves the bottom’s surface asphalt to ensure that the surface remains the proper height for curbs and gutters,” he adds. “Base patching is done next, where areas with heavier damage are repaired.”

“After that’s done, we clean off the debris with a sweeping truck, throw on some adhesive, then apply the new asphalt and just like that, we’ve just covered an entire surface,” Bradshaw concludes. “The lifespan is typically shorter than it would be with a new base of asphalt, but the quality of the results makes an overlay more than worth the reduced lifespan.”
